Question about Ziggy's mapp

[Brake6]

Hello

If I understand it right, the "spiky" hat should act as a Radar Gain control when in A-G master mode. Well, I can increase the gain but not decrease it.

Do I need to change something in the script file?

Works for me. You holding the hat? It's set up to simulate a rotary. Works with single clicks too. I was using it to tweak gain on a mission last night so it is tested. You can change the key repeat delay in the script. Left decreases gain, right increases. It's all tied to the Range Knob HOTAS function. No fancy programming involved.

Hmmm... strange. Just tried again. In A-A I can increase the radar range (not decrease) and in A-G I can increase the gain (not decrease).

In F4 Setup screen, how should I assign the Sensor gain and Antenna elevation? I have tried both "Keyboard" and "CH control manager 2". Same result no matter what I choose. If I choose "CH control manager 2" and click on "Detect", move the button I get no response on the screen. Is that right?

Ah, there is the problem right there. Gain should be assigned as keyboard since it is mapped using keystrokes. Only functions that need assigned by the user are cursor, throttle, and rudder. I can assure you the profile works for me as well as others. You must have changed something. CMC Button 8 should be CTL F3. Check that under the CMS Controls tab in Control Manager. The script should read as follows:


//range knob
timer(interval, d3, 1, 6) = js2.b9 or js2.b11;
cms.b7 = d3 and js2.b9;
cms.b8 = d3 and js2.b11;

You can tweak the key repeat delay of 6 to whatever you want.

Alternatively try downloading the profile again.

I&#39;m a hopeless case :(

Probably I don&#39;t have everything right, so I took some screenshoots. You are writing "...CMC Button 8 should be CTL F3...". Is that in the script or...?? I downloaded your map again - with no joy. I cannot decrease either Radar range or gain, only increase.

Sorry for all the trouble :blush:

OK, range knob is good in the script ( I shortened the delay to 6 but 10 is good). Double check the CMS button is assigned correctly. Click on the CMS Controls tab and then on button 8. Should read CTL F3. Here lemme grab a screen...

Oh, and leave the entry in the throttle setup blank as shown in your screen. CMS takes care of this one for you.

If this fails to work, only thing I can think of is that you somehow changed the keymap in Falcon. You can restore the default keymap easily enough (there&#39;s a backup in AF&#39;s config folder).

Ziggy, Brake6;

In order for that to act more like an axis if that&#39;s what you&#39;d like to do. You could shorten the time between key presses even more as I&#39;ve done with my antenna up/down here:

TIMER ( INTERVAL, D2, 1, 3 ) = JS2.B7; // PT HAT 1 Up
TIMER ( INTERVAL, D3, 1, 3 ) = JS2.B5; // PT HAT 1 Down
CMS.B1 = D2; // Antenna-Tilt-Up
CMS.B2 = D3; // Antenna-Tilt-Down

:cheers:

Hi Ghost. I&#39;ve used a very small key repeat delay on the antenna elevation like you suggest (currently 2). Radar range and gain, I wanted to have slower on the repeat since range for example only has a few discrete values; 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 NM. It&#39;s really up to those downloading the profile to tweak as desired but I don&#39;t think this is his problem. Something is screwed up for sure and my guess is the default keymap has been changed. My profile is designed to run using a vanilla keymap.

PS Watch out real soon for v1.5 of my profile. Big changes and improvements this time. Profile is finished and tested. Just got to update the readme, so should be available for download in a couple of days or so.

Morning Ghost and Ziggy

I actully did had changed my shortcuts - so I thought that must be the problem. So I went back to the backup file - but no luck :( I tried some other things (under "Program setting", I picked the .cms file, changed from CTL F3 to LCTL F3) but everytime I could just increase range/gain, never decrease.

So I gave up (this time :o ) and just mapped the button the regular way. It&#39;s not working like a rotary but at least I can decrease the value now.

I have to read the manual carefully because I think there is something basic I&#39;m doing wrong. :blush:

:cheers:

Morning Brake, OK, by mapping the regular way do you mean assigning the key as CTL F3 in Control Manager or assigning it in Falcon? The latter is a bad practice unless you are keeping close tabs on any keys you change, and not really necessary when using something as programmable as CH gear. Anyway, could you send me a copy of your CMS file and I&#39;ll look through it in case we have missed something obvious. My money is still on a Falcon keymap change though.
